Road Rage, a Machete, and the Tendency to Violence

   I often wonder if just having a weapon can lead a person to commit a violent act. Say, a person had a machete, and carried it around while he was driving, and got upset with another driver one day, and followed the man home . . .
   Would the ways thing turned out be different because he had a machete?
   Kenneth Ross of Orem was arrested Tuesday, accused of the road rage incident described above. He is accused of slashing the face of Jason Harper.
   I would guess the person who slashed Jason Harper had violent tendencies not brought on just by carrying a machete. But, I would also guess those tendencies were enhanced when he started carrying the weapon.
